We went to new york The air was still warm We walked 'round the shops and cafes
And I tried to work Ignoring my hands Didn't follow the leads in my brain
Cause all of those footsteps Kept follow me 'round And all of those voices Made noise without sound
And we danced like you do When on holiday And we drank like you do When you have nothing much to say On your marks, do-si-do Facing your partner Bottoms up and refill I'm still hungover
And that look on your face Made me feel like a crook From an albert camus book
A stranger in a strange land A stranger to myself And scary as hell
That look on your face As if nothing had changed Like in eleanor rigby No one was saved
And we danced like you do When on holiday And we drank like you do When you have nothing much to say On your marks, do-si-do Facing your partner Bottoms up and refill
And we danced to war And we danced to peace And we danced to everything That's in between And we drank to love And we drank to hate And we drank to everything Before it was too late
And we danced like you do When on holiday And we drank like you do When you have nothing much to say
And we danced like you do When on holiday And we drank like you do When you have nothing much to say On your marks, do-si-do Facing your partner Bottoms up and refill I'm still hungover
